From a creation perspective, the steps for managed and external volumes appear almost identical:
- Both require a storage credential
- Both require an external location
- Both point to customer-owned S3
So what exactly makes a volume “managed” vs “external”?
Why is it said that managed volumes are controlled by Databricks, while external volumes are not, when:
Both physically live in customer S3
Both are accessed using customer-defined IAM roles?
